Islamic coffin covers, also known as chadar or janazah covers, are decorative cloths used by many Muslim families and communities to cover a coffin or bier during a funeral procession. Explore their purpose, common designs, and the options available from MuslimMall.
“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return.” (Qur’an 2:156)
A coffin cover is a practical and decorative covering. Its use and style can differ between families, mosques, funeral providers, and local customs.
In some Muslim communities, a cloth is placed over the coffin or bier as the deceased is transported for the funeral prayer or burial. It can provide a dignified appearance and a sense of care during a solemn occasion. Customs vary, and a decorative coffin cover is not itself a required part of Islamic burial rites.
Many covers feature Arabic calligraphy, Qur’anic phrases, or traditional Islamic motifs. Green and gold are common design choices, although colors and embroidery styles differ. When selecting a cover, it is worth checking that any Arabic text and religious wording are accurate and respectfully presented.
The Islamic shroud (kafan) is distinct from a decorative coffin cover. The kafan is used in preparing the deceased for burial. A coffin cover is generally an outer covering for the coffin or bier during handling or transport, according to local practice.
Mosques, Muslim organizations, and funeral service providers may choose to keep a cover available for community use. Reusable covers can be stored and cared for between services, following the provider’s hygiene and handling procedures.
